Uukolokoshi waantu
(Eps. 53)Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Aagoya otaa ilombwele taa ti:
“Kaku na Kalunga!”
Aantu mbaka oya shunduka noya longo iisithahoni;
kaku na nando ogumwe ta longo uuwanawa.
2 Omuwa oku li megulu
noto ontamene aantu kombanda yevi,
opo a tale, ngele oku na omunandunge
nongele oku na nando ogumwe
te mu simaneke.
3 Ihe ayehe oya puguma;
ayehe oya yonana.
Kaku na nando gumwe ta longo shoka shi li mondjila,
nando ogumwe.
4 “Aakolokoshi mbaka inaye shi tseya nani?”
Omuwa ta pula.
“Oyo haa hupu mokuyuga aantu yandje
yo ihaa galikana ndje.”
5 Oyo taa ka adhika kehaluko enene,
oshoka Kalunga okwa gama kumboka haa vulika kuye.
6 Aakolokoshi ohaa shunitha monima
oompangela dhomwiifupipiki,
ihe Omuwa oye omugameni gwe.
7 Ando muSion mu zile Israel ekwatho!
Uuna Omuwa ta ka hepulutha natango aantu ye,
nena Aaisraeli otaa ka nyanyukwa ngiini!
Human Wickedness
(Psalm 53)1 Fools say to themselves,
“There is no God!”
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3 But they have all gone wrong;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4 “Don't they know?” asks the Lord.
“Are all these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me.”
5 But then they will be terrified,
for God is with those who obey him.
6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble,
but the Lord is their protection.
7 How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when the Lord makes them prosperous again!
